        * ltcf-cxx.sh: Support creation of C++ shared libraries on
        recent versions of FreeBSD (release 3 or later).
        * ltconfig: On FreeBSD, -lc must not be provided when building
        a shared library or else the standard -pthread gcc option is
        rendered worthless to later users of the built library.
